PDO THREADS
The Non-Surgical Facelift Solution for Youthful Skin
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a type of minimally invasive cosmetic treatment used to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. These threads are made of a biocompatible material called polydioxanone, which has been used for many years in surgical procedures due to its safety and ability to dissolve naturally in the body over time. PDO threads are inserted into the skin using a fine needle or cannula, and they provide mechanical support and stimulate collagen production, resulting in various aesthetic improvements
WHAT IS PDO THREADS
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a type of minimally invasive cosmetic treatment used to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. These threads are made of a biocompatible material called polydioxanone, which is commonly used in surgical procedures due to its safety and ability to dissolve naturally in the body over time. PDO threads are inserted into the skin using a fine needle or cannula, and they provide mechanical support and stimulate collagen production, resulting in various aesthetic improvements.
PDO threads come in different types and configurations, including mono threads (for stimulating collagen in a specific area), cog threads (for mechanical lifting), and screw threads (for volumizing and contouring). The threads are strategically placed under the skin to lift and reposition sagging or drooping facial tissues, leading to a more lifted and rejuvenated appearance without the need for surgery. PDO threads can also be used for body treatments, such as lifting the buttocks or tightening the skin on the arms or abdomen.
